About this property

Thatched Cottage Annex, close to Maidencombe beach. Extra Let (VRBO 11299994)

Nestled in between Torquay and Teignmouth, Rosemary Cottage Annex is a one bedroom thatched cottage that's cosy and enormously inviting. This cottage has been renovated specifically as a holiday retreat with everything you need for a great Devon getaway.

The clever open plan layout of this property means that everything is on hand from the cute kitchen, the dining area or watching TV from the two-seater sofa. The master bedroom has a welcoming double bed and offers direct access to an enclosed garden area with a table and chairs that make it a tempting place to pass a couple of hours. This is a fine spot from which to soak up the views under the summer sun.

Parking is on a private drive at the side of the cottage. The cottage also benefits from wi fi for those who cant live without their technology.

A 15 minute short walk away is the highly rated village pub in the centre of one of South Devon's most picturesque villages of Stokeinteignhead, with its thatched cottages and rural atmosphere. Opposite the pub is the volunteer run village shop to enable you to stock up on essential supplies and local produce, or the Thatched Tavern pub at Maidencombe along with the beach, cafe and paddle board hire. There are also many outdoor activities within the area including horse riding, golf and kayaking to name a few.

The cottage is situated in an ideal location, whether you wish to make a short trip to the seaside or make it an active day on the South West Coast Path. You are just a few miles away from the spectacular views and walks on Dartmoor. For those who want some retail therapy you are close to the historic city of Exeter, the market town of Newton Abbot and the famous Torquay English Riviera and harbour.

Fabulous Stay in Quaint Village
The cottage was located in a fabulous village, with a short walk to the Thatched Inn pub and the wonderful cove of Maidencombe which was a hidden gem. Neil our host was so friendly and gave us some great local tips and nothing was to much trouble.

Fabulous cottage
A beautifully presented cottage in a timeless country village providing everything we could have wanted from a Devon escape. Clean and modern within the cosy thatch and the thick stone walls set in a country lane with easy to reach pubs and amazing scenery all around. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great little cottage
Our stay at Rosemary Cottage Annex was very comfortable. The bed was so nice, and the cottage was spotless. Beware the cottage is down a steep lane, but once there the view is well worth it. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper and coffee and tea available, amenities we have had at every other accommodation we stayed at during our tour of the U.K.

Perfect retreat!
Perfect property for a couple’s retreat. Ideally located, Torquay, Teignmouth within 15 minutes drive of the property, with Maidencombe beach and pub 5 minutes. Cottage is clean and has everything needed for a holiday. Neil was helpful with a couple of questions pre the holiday and was around if required during our stay. Will definitely look to come back at some point. Richard and Julie.

Stay in Devon
Annexe was very welcoming. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. It would have been nice and useful to have a bedside lamp, then the person near the wall could read, but not have to get out of bed to turn off the main light. Otherwise great stay. Would happily recommend

Great Stay
Great stay at Rosemary Cottage. Owner Neil was on hand if you needed anything. Perfect for our 5 days in Devon , visiting for a wedding at Cockington (approx 6 miles away). Really quiet place, well equipped for self catering. Farm next door sold organic eggs, milk etc which was handy. Nice little back garden at the property, with a nice view over the surrounding countryside. Driving was fun with some very small roads and sharp bends!

Ein Kleinod in einer herrlichen Landschaft.
Wir haben die Tage in diesem kleinen Cottage genossen. Es ist etwas klein aber gerade dies entwickelt auch seinen ganz eigenen Charme. Die Untekunft ist ideal für Tagestouren in Süd Devon oder den östlichen Teil Cornwalls. Neil und Nikky sind äußerst nette und liebevolle Vermieter, die einem bei allen Fragen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen. Wir danken Ihnen für die schönen Momente.
